bg视讯's garden program had an eventul 2015, 到处都是新花园, rejuvenations of existing spaces, and several innovative garden projects that help make New York a greener city.

bg视讯建立了 7 new community gardens this year, giving 的 city 80,000 square feet of new open space.  These new gardens include:

• 227年花园 在曼哈顿哈莱姆区

• Eagle Slope Community 花园 在布朗克斯的莫特黑文

• Havemeyer 花园 Association 在布朗克斯的城堡山

另外, our garden program did major rejuvenation projects on 7 community gardens and 1 school gardens, 总计72,000 square feet of existing green space that was transformed.  All of this work is done alongside great partners, 包括GreenThumb, 596英亩, Brooklyn Botanic 花园, Brooklyn Queens Land Trust, 纽约消防局, and New York Botanical 花园's Bronx Green Up.  

Throughout 2015, bg视讯 built 12 new green infrastructure elements in gardens, including:

• 10 new rainwater harvesting systems, in Crotona Park East (BX) East Harlem (MN), 总督岛, 绿点(BK), 莫特港(BX), 及公园坡(BK).
• 1 new bioswale, in East Harlem.
• A new aquaponic shipping container at an urban farm in Far Rockaway.

bg视讯 completed our second year of programming at 总督岛 Teaching 花园, an urban farm that provides free educational programming for public schools students and summer camp groups from March to November, as well as holds open hours for 的 general public on weekends during 的 general 总督岛 open season.  

We made some great additions to our farm space in 2015, including a high tunnel greenhouse, 太阳能烤箱, 雨花园, and several rainwater harvesting systems.

This year's 总督岛 Teaching 花园 programming included:

• 与多人一起工作 2500个孩子 从多于 60个学校团体
• Interacting with more than 5,000 visitors from 的 general public during weekend open hours.

This fall, bg视讯 helped build T5农场 at JetBlue's Terminal 5 at JFK Airport.  24,000 square foot farm features more than 4,000 回收d milk crates growing blue potatoes - 的 same variety that TERRA gives away on JetBlue flights - as well as o的r herbs and vegetables.  T5农场 was created in collaboration with bg视讯 Partners, a consultancy arm of bg视讯 that returns profits to 的 mission-based activities of bg视讯 - like 的 7 new gardens we built this year.

We also continued our efforts to bring community gardening to affordable housing developments.  2015 marked our fourth year of working at 通过佛, where a 5,000 square foot rooftop garden is enjoyed by 的 building's residents.  bg视讯 also ran seasonal workshops about gardening, healthy eating, and much more.

在长岛市, bg视讯 helped to design a 2,300 square foot rooftop farm on top of Queens' newest affordable housing complex, 猎人角南. The farm features 13 oversized raised beds and a beehive, and will also host a bg视讯-run Fresh Food Box for building residents.

We'll be back working at T5农场, 通过佛, and 猎人角南 in 2016, working to continue bringing innovative programming to each one.  bg视讯等不及了!
